Now, I'm not one to say I told you so (Okay, maybe a little), but not long after I highlighted some of the remaining historical architecture all along Yonge St. [See "A Walk Down Yonge St." for refresher] but who now comes along and does the same thing?

This map even shows their little walk down Yonge St.

Now there are several heritage buildings on Yonge. Lately one less, unfortunately, which likely prompted their sudden interest. [See "You Were Waiting For It."

So I can understand their Johnny-Come-Lately spread in yesterday's paper.But come on, do your own research.

Their first three buildings are all identified someone's recent post.

Their #1 was my last one (big finish). Their #2 was my lead. And their #3 was my second last (building to the big finish).

I wondered who that was with a camera beside me....

All seriousness aside, it is great that preservation of historical buildings is getting some much needed attention.

It's just sad that it took the torching of the former Empress Hotel to get it into the public's collective conscious.

Hi, I'm Jim Arnott. For whatever reason, I've decided to create a blog. Why would someone want to read my blog? If you have any ideas, please let me know.

My shtick will be to post photos and comments using only my cell phone. Why? It's not because I'm too cheap to buy a real camera. Don't believe those rumours. It's because, well.......this is the only camera I choose to have. Yeah, that's it.

And based on this photo, maybe these low resolution babies are the way to go. Yikes!
